:50:02
She really believes
there are good guys out there.
:50:04
She just has to remember
that, you know...
:50:07
men are like a disease...
:50:09
and, unfortunately...
:50:11
most onus have already
been infected.
:50:13
And as far as I can tell...
:50:18
there's no cure.
:50:20
Are you from New York originally?
:50:22
Yeah. Queens.
:50:25
That's not really New York,
is it?
:50:27
No, that's really New York.
:50:29
In fact, in my book,
that's the real New York.
:50:33
Why? Where are you from?
:50:35
The Upper East Side,
born and raised.
:50:37
The Upper East Side?
That's not really New York.
:50:40
What does your dad do for a living?
Is he a Wall Street guy?
:50:42
He's a lawyer.
:50:44
What does he have to do
with making this a great city?
:50:47
We, on the other hand--
the bridge and tunnel crowd...
:50:49
the outer borough folk--
we're the ones that built this city.
:50:52
We gave our blood and guts
to this town.
:50:55
One of my grandfathers
was a sand hog.
:50:57
Helped build the Lincoln
and Holland tunnel.
:50:59
Ended up dying of emphysema
from all the dust.
:51:02
A grandfather worked construction
on a dozen skyscrapers...
:51:05
including
the Empire State Building.
:51:07
Then he falls to his death
when I'm a kid.
:51:09
My dad was a cop,
got shot twice while on the job.
:51:12
My mom is a nurse
up at Harlem Hospital...
:51:14
still saving lives every day.
:51:16
So we really gave
something to the city.
:51:19
Our blood, our guts, our lives.
We're the ones that made it great.
:51:22
That's a great story...
:51:24
but I can trace my ancestors back
to the original Dutch settlers...
:51:27
in the 1 7th century.
:51:28
In my book, that's as real
a New Yorker as you can get.
:51:30
If you grew up
in the outer boroughs...
:51:32
you have a greater appreciation
of New York...
:51:34
than if you grew up in Manhattan.
:51:36
We grew up sort of seeing
the city from a distance...
:51:39
and feeling the pull of it,
longing for it.
:51:42
So maybe if you grew up here,
you kind of take it for granted.
:51:46
Jesus, you weren't kidding.
This is a great space.
:51:49
I thought you'd like it.
Obviously, it's a raw space.
:51:51
You'd have to build it out.
It'd cost money.
:51:53
I don't mean to be rude,
but what do you do for a living?
:51:56
I produce a television show,
Entertainment This Week.
